Origin of residual strain in heteroepitaxial films by Postelnicu, Eveline, Wen, Rui-Tao, Ma, Danhao, Wang, Baoming, Wada, Kazumi, Michel, Jurgen, Kimerling, Lionel C

“…We present data for Ge-on-Si growth from 400 to 730 °C followed by heat treatment from 500–900 °C. We show that strain fluctuations of 5.02% enable misfit dislocation formation, and we propose a comprehensive model for the conversion of compressive misfit strain to tensile elastic strain. …”

Strain-Induced Gauge Field and Landau Levels in Acoustic Structures by Yang, Zhaoju, Gao, Fei, Yang, Yahui, Zhang, Baile

“…However, previous approaches constructing a synthetic gauge field for sound predominantly relied on a periodic system, being unable to form a uniform effective magnetic field, thus lacking access to some typical magnetic-induced quantum phenomena such as Landau energy quantization. Here we introduce strain engineering, previously developed in graphene electronics and later transferred to photonics, into a two-dimensional acoustic structure in order to form a uniform effective magnetic field for airborne acoustic wave propagation. …”
